The method Of treating freckles employed
by DR.. HalkinS is as follows The skin being
washed and dried is put on the stretch with
two fingers of the left hand and drop of pure
carbolic acid is applied exactly over the
patch. When it dries the operation is COM
pleted. The skin becomes white and the
slight burning sensation disappears in few
minutes. The thin crust which forms after
cauterization should not be disturbed, it de-
taches itself spontaneously in eight or ten
days, leaving rosy celebration which is soon
replaced by the natural color of the skin.

DR.. Washburn administers cod liver oil in
milk to both infants and adults Milk i
taken in the mouth and held there, and the
spoon is first dipped in milk, and then the oil
poured into il. Just as the oil is taken into
the mouth the milk should be swallowed and
another sip of milk taken. Children, if in
terrupted in nursing, readily swallow tea
spoonful of oil, and then proceed with nurs-
ing as if nothing had happened, The oily
nature of the milk seems completely to shield
the mucous membrane of the mouth and
throat from contact with the cod liver oil.

are really prompted by nervous prostra-
ton, which is fruitful source of insanity
and crime, with all their grief and horror.
These facts are startling. They threaten
the very life of the nation. They assall
the springs of its power and prosperity.
They wreck manhood's strength and wo-
mans usefulness and beauty.
Every one should know the causes.
What are they? The answer is easy and
terribly plain: Our vicious personal hab-
its; our careless and lawless eating and
drinking; the intense mental and physi-
al strain arising from our mad race after
money, position and influence; the fears
and struggles of poverty; the use of mar
cotics and stimulance; our fashion of
turning day into night and night into day;
and, briefly, our, desperate willingness to
pay any price for an hours pleasure or
success. So we burn life's candle at both
ends and fill the lunatic asylum and the
graveyards.
The disease from which we suffer and
die is, in plain English, Nervous Dyspep-
sia as it is seated in the Nerves and in
the organs of Digestion, Assimilation and
Nutrition. Healthy digestion being i'm
peded or destroyed, the whole body, nerves
included, is literally starved; even when
there is no emaciation to tell the sad
story.
Nervous prostration sends out its warn
ings:-headache in the morning; per-
sistent dull heaviness or aching at the
base of the brain; wakefullness; loss of
appetite and disgust with food; loss of
mental energy and interest in ordinary
duties and business; restlessness and anx.
iety without any assignable reasons; err
uctations; bad breath; foul mucous on the
teeth; occasional giddiness; palpitation
of the heart; sallowness of the skin; coated
tongue and gradual failure of strength and
ambition.
The remedy is total abandonment of
the habit and customs which cause the
disease in each individul case, and the
use of Shaker Extract of Roots (Seigels
Syrup to cure the mischief all eady done.
This great remedy, prepared by the
Shaker Community of Mt. Lebanon,
N. Y, is especially adapted TO eradicate
Nervous Dyspepsia. To do this 1t acts
directly and gently but powerfully upon
the disordered stomach, liver and kidneys.
restoring their tone and vigor, promoting
the secretion of bile, expelling waste
matters from the system, and purifying
the blood.
Upon the nervous system Shaker Ex-
tract (Seigel's Syrup acts as a safe and
wholesome anodyne without the slightest
narcotic effect, and then leaves the nerves
to regain their natural tone and strength
through its wonderful influence upon the
function of nutrition.
1t is safe to say more nervous dyspep-
tics have been restored by it from the
depths of misery to fresh enjoyment of
life and labor than by any or all other
forms of treatment combined.

mander Greene, in command OF the
United States hteamer Ysntic, few
days ago at Portau-Prince off,
cially protested against the seizure Of
the Island Of Tortugas, a dependency Of
Hayti, by the English. Such an a.

been made will meet with the hearty
Endorsement OF all Americans. We
cannot in justice to our own interests
permit any European government to
acquire any more territory on this side
